empty emails....

[alex at crackpot.org]

FWIW, an image sent as an attachment can't be used for tracking you.   
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.)

Tracking is done when an HTML email uses tags that make a request for  
some object (image, stylesheet, etc) when the email loads.  If the  
image is attached to the email, there's no request made, and no server  
is notified that you opened the message.
